The pre-match favourite, BFA, failed to deliver, as the match finished 1-1, a draw that surprised the model’s 52% home-win call. The model’s prediction was therefore wrong. The only other selection was Over 1.5 goals, with an 80.9% probability, and it hit, as two goals were indeed scored. BFA’s recent form, coming off a draw, had been mixed (DWDWL), while Minija, on a five-game winning streak, had been in fine rhythm. The final score of 1-1 matched the model’s most likely 2-0 or 2-1 outcomes, but the draw was the unexpected result.
